Imagine: if only 10% of the world's cattle were fed Methane Tamer™, it would benefit the climate more than planting 15 billion trees.
(GWP 100)Today, global tree planting estimates stand at around 50 million trees, with approximately 8 million planted in the USA in 2022. The idea of planting 15 billion trees requires a staggering 300-fold increase in planting rates. Clearly, not a viable solution, but it illustrates the power of addressing the destructive GHG emissions of enteric methane from cattle burps, which can be done today!
What About Burps
Prepare to be awestruck by the hidden power of a seemingly innocent occurrence. Among ruminant animals, cattle produce enteric methane as they digest, releasing it into the air with each burp. This natural act plays a pivotal role in our global challenge.
Decoding Methane's Heat-Trapping Enigma
A Distinctive Player in the Greenhouse Realm
While methane may be less prevalent and short-lived compared to CO2, don't underestimate its potency. In the short term, methane is over 80 times more effective at ensnaring heat, hastening the march of climate change.*
